Geocon Project No. S2170-07-12 - 9 - June 6, 2022 Note: Avoid contacting plastic zippers or other plastic closure mechanisms on clothing, equipment bags, etc., with DEET containing crème which will cause these materials to degrade. If you are allergic to bee or wasp stings, be sure to have the appropriate first aid available (e.g., an epi- pen) on the project. If you are stung, administer first aid and seek immediate medical attention. Be sure a reptile or animal bite victim obtains medical attention quickly if a bite or scratch occurs, especially if there is a potential that it was poisonous. In the meantime, administer First Aid by scrubbing the wound with soap and water, and rinsing thoroughly under running water. Dry off and place a clean bandage on the wound. Victims of these bites should lie down and remain calm and motionless; cold packs should be applied and medical attention sought immediately. Hazard: The COVID-19 virus can be transmitted from infected individuals (who may or may not be experiencing symptoms). Project/worksite locations and surrounding communities as well as coworkers and community members represent a potential source of exposure for personnel. The virus is spread primarily through inhalation of airborne respiratory droplets and aerosols containing the virus, and through direct contact to the mucous membranes (eyes, nose) with unwashed hands after contacting virus-contaminated surfaces. Our risk reduction guidelines are based on the core strategies of physical distancing (a.k.a. social distancing), rigorous personal hygiene (especially the hands) and workspace sanitation, and in certain high-risk situations personal protective equipment (in particular, N-95 respirator). Control(s) – COVID-19: Practice physical distancing, personal hygiene, and workspace sanitation to minimize exposure to COVID-19 virus. For all activities, maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from other staff, visitors, client representatives, and the general public. The use of a nose/mouth covering (face mask) provides a means for capturing potentially infectious droplets/aerosols produced by the wearer. This reduces the risk of others subsequently becoming exposed/infected by reducing airborne aerosols available to be inhaled or to settle onto surfaces. For this reason, State and local agencies are encouraging the use of nose/mouth coverings for all persons engaging in public activities. Therefore, sampling staff are authorized to wear an acceptable nose/mouth covering as an emission barrier for COVID-19 exposure risk reduction. 3.6 Thermal Extremes – Heat Stress and Heat Strain Type(s)/Source: Solar load – working outdoors in spring/summer months Qualified Exposure Risk: Moderate Primary “Control”: Compliance with T8 CCR §3395 Heat Illness Prevention Dress appropriately for the expected weather conditions.
